Mookata, commonly called Thai-style barbecue, comes from the words mu (pig/pork) and kratha (pan/skillet). Believed to have been inspired by Mongolian and Korean barbecues, the concept was first popularised in Thailand – and has since spread across Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, you will find many mookata joints, usually non-halal, that serve pork, seafood and meat,… Read More BarBQ Plaza’s Unlimited Refill Is A Meat-Lover’s Dream
What’s better than barbecue? UNLIMITED BARBECUE. There’s nothing like the sizzle of fresh meat as it hits the grill, and the glisten of oil and juices over beautifully marbled slices of pork belly. You get all that, and more, at Rocku Yakiniku, a popular Japanese-style barbecue (yakiniku)joint located within 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama… Read More Review: Unlimited BBQ @ Rocku Yakiniku, 1 Utama Shopping Centre Petaling Jaya
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Apple + Samgyupsal – they have several branches in Kuala Lumpur and around the Klang Valley – but never had the chance to try it out until recently. C and I felt like having meat, so we headed to lunch at their Bandar Puteri Puchong branch. As… Read More Food Review: Korean BBQ @ Apple + Samgyupsal, Bandar Puteri Puchong

What I like about it is that you can barbecue AND boil your food on the unique stove at the same time! My… Read More Food Review: Chiang Mai Mookata & Thai Street Food@ Skypod Square Puchong
For my ‘farewell’ lunch, the colleagues treated me to a meal of mookata / Thai bbq at BBQ Plaza, The Mines. Unlike traditional bbq, Thai-style has a shallow pot with a protuding hotplate in the middle so you can grill and boil things at the same time. We ordered the mixed family set (good for… Read More BBQ Plaza, The Mines
Update: This restaurant is permanently closed. Had an urge to go swimming over the weekend. Our National Aquatic Center is closed until 2017 (!?) in preparation for the Southeast Asian games. Boo, because that’s the closest public swimming pool to my house. Thankfully C was in the mood, so we went to her apartment at… Read More Huo Lu Ai Korean BBQ, Setiawalk Puchong
Update 2021: This restaurant is permanently closed. You know what they say about ‘authentic’ restaurants – they’re the ones serving a customer base made up of that particular cuisine’s ethnic group. So when Grace and I walked into San Nae Deul at One City, USJ, we knew we were in for a good K-BBQ experience. On… Read More All You Can Eat Korean Buffet – San Nae Deul, One City USJ
